Personality

Once a leader, always a leader; once a mother, always a mother.

Soledad needs someone to educate, to instruct, or to advise. She was groomed for leadership from an early age, first being sent with various uncles to travel across Europe and learn the ways of the world before settling down into family pack life, albeit a family of traders who came and went bring stories and goods. She took to motherhood with initially reluctant but natural skill, and her maternal instincts never switched off. Now an old lady, she sees in everyone she meets a glimmer of what they may one day be and inevitably works to softly coax them towards this goal she’s created for them – whether they are aware of it (or want it) or not.

It takes a lot to shock the old lady – she’s seen it all before – however she struggles with anxiety from time to time, especially triggered by feelings of failure or simply not knowing what exactly her role is and therefore what constitutes correct social etiquette.

Soledad shows the first signs of a confused memory. She sometimes mixes Spanish words into her Common speech sentences, has trouble learning new names and can become confused as to the order of which certain things happen. To combat this, she takes many notes in her memory book.

As she loses her mind, her temper is getting shorter and she becomes less in control of her own emotions.

• Outlook: Optimistic
• Sociability: Talkative, curious, interfering, caring
• Expression: Either worried or calm and wise
• Alignment: Chaotic Good
• Motivations: Survival, Inner faith in life, Maternal nature
• Fears: Drowning

• Likes: kind and gentle characters, intelligence
• Dislikes: her own mental decline

• Non-Luperci: thinks of non-Luperci of being cautious and afraid of change, but that they should be allowed to live as they choose.
• Age: Believes elders should be respected; is highly affectionate and caring towards the young.
• Soledad refuses to travel by boat.

Soledad is a widow twice over. Her relationships have predominantly been with males, although she has had occasional romances with women. At this time however, she doesn't have the desire to start any new relationship as she believes herself too old for such things. As a younger wolf though, she was quite the flirt; this sometimes got her into trouble.

Soledad references 'the gods' but she's very inclusive and will find a spiritual outlet regardless of which culture she finds herself immersed in. This doesn't however mean that she always believes in gods.

Once aggressively against such things, the pains associated with old age have forced Soledad to reconsider...
